Descriptions

mount in util-linux 2.19 and earlier attempts to append to the /etc/mtab.tmp file without first checking whether resource limits would interfere, which allows local users to trigger corruption of the /etc/mtab file via a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a related issue to CVE-2011-1089.

mount in util-linux v2.19 y anteriores, intenta añadir al fichero /etc/mtab.tmp sin primero comprobar si los limites del recurso interfieren, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una corrupción del fichero /etc/mtab mediante un proceso con un valor RLIMIT_FSIZE pequeño, un asunto relacionado con CVE-2011-1089.
